The products are divided into Current World Class Products of Korea (products included in the world's 5th largest market share, with annual sales of over 50 million dollars, or those with annual exports of over 5 million dollars) and Next-generation World Class of Korea Products (products possessing great potential of being included in the world's 5th largest market share.).

Since 2012

Shunt Reactor above 345kV

  • To prevent the Ferranti effect caused by capacitive charging--an increase in voltage occurring at the receiving end of a long transmission line, above the voltage at the sending end--a shunt reactor is installed in the transmission line or on land.
  • An ultra-high voltage electrical device to improve transmission efficiency and system stability by supplying inductive reactive power for the transmission line.

Since 2011

Flameproof Motor

  • An explosion-proof industrial motor that can be safely used in regions with explosion risks. This industrial motor is designed so that its enclosure can endure explosion and stop flames from leaking through the assembly area or the opening of the enclosure when explosions occur inside the motor.

Since 2010

145kV Gas Insulated Switchgear

  • The combination of many devices such as a circuit breaker, a disconnector, measuring/control devices, a connecting bus-bar, a converter, and a lightning arrester used to open/close, convert, and protect electric circuits for safe power transmission and distribution
  • 145kV GIS not used in Korea but produced only for exports

Since 2008

High Voltage for Marine Thruster

  • An electric motor used to easily anchor ships by attaching it to medium and large sized ships.

Since 2007

Marine Switchboard

  • With control, monitoring, and protection equipment, the switchboard is used to supply stable electric energy to various electrical devices and protect the devices when abnormality arises inside a ship

Since 2006

Large Power Transformers

  • An electrical device that transfers electrical energy for customers by changing the alternating voltages at power plants or large substations.

Since 2004

Synchronous Generator for Marin Application

  • Three phase low- and high-voltage generators used as main source of energy in ships driven by a diesel engine (including a gas engine) or a turbine
  • Larger than 500kW, and mainly used for large merchant ships
